19 November 2012 – Strengthening works to AG Wrights Sluice Gates in Denver

fibrwrap — Tue, 20 Nov 2012 14:30:16 +0000

Strengthening works to AG Wrights Sluice Gates in Denver, Norfolk begins today. The inlet sluice, which controls flood water from the river Cam and the Fens to the flood relief channel of King’s Lynn, was built in 1957. There are six simply supported concrete beams spanning between three towers that that are showing signs of failure in both flexure and shear. Fibrwrap UK is retro-fitting these six beams using its unique Tyfo Advanced Fibrwrap Systems.

The high strength, lightweight system is perfect for carrying out these kind of repairs, which are difficult to access over water. The contract is expected to take four weeks and is part of a full refurbishment contract by Birse Civils on behalf of The Environment Agency.

As we continue to grow as a company in what we still view as an adverse construction market we have outgrown our main office in Cottingham. From Monday the 15th October we will be fully operational from our brand new offices at Newlands Science Park in Hull. The move only takes us a few miles down the road but our new office is much larger and brighter with enough space for our expanding resources.

26th June 2012 – Fyfe Europe contributes to Italian society

fibrwrap — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 14:00:32 +0000

After the catastrophic earthquakes in Italy during last month, unreinforced masonry bell towers in the stricken area, most of which have faced serious structural damages, create danger for inhabitants leaving around them. Many people are not allowed to access their homes, even not damaged during the earthquakes, just because of the danger of total collapse of the towers.

Fyfe Europe engineers have visited the area together with Fibrwrap Italia team right after the strong tremors and they suggested an emergency repair solution to help faster recovery of the people. Tyfo® Fibrwrap® Composite System was suggested as the urgent post earthquake measure for a ready to collapse bell tower in Emilia Romagnia region. Fibrwrap Italia general manager, engineer Renato Parretti talked yesterday in RAI tv and explained the situation.

Life has to be continued after the earthquake. Fyfe Europe is there to support.
